Chapter 2: Living on Borrowed Time

[imnotofuckingkay20]

you know your mental state is fucked when you don't even want to reread throam

[bunnyboylyricbot]

and so, these simple, loaned rooms, i know, are temporary and not our home.

[icarusredwings]

I rewatched Deadpool 2 and took notes.

Disclaimer: He's mentally ill and does mentally ill things (GASP, who would have thought?). Also, violence. A lot of violence. It's really long. Like.. really really long.

The very first words he says is "fuck wolverine"

Then blows his own head off with a shit ton of gasoline. Wonder if he had insurance on that appartment.

He started taking worldwide cases

He also admits to knowing "8th grade spanish"

"Passion of the christ. Then me." Says the man whos marvel jesus now.

I wonder how much wade owes cab guy.

Cab guy killed bandu Lmao

"What is it?"

"My IUD"

"A bomb??" Tell me why he was lowkey excited for it to be a bomb?

I love how serious he gets talking about how scared he is to be a dad.

This empire joke traveled from the first movie too.

"Pretty sure it doesn't work that way but we can try" yes.

When making toaster strudles its almost as if he could sense them coming despite it being so silent. This kind of makes me think that Logans not the only one who just jumps up sometimes.

This man really just said "Fuck it" jumped out of a 2 story window, BOLTED after this guy as fast as he could, got hit by a car, rammed another car, and whole ass hugged this guy before jumping in front of a truck with him. I don't want to see anyone try to tell me he's one sandwitch drop away from jumping off a cliff.

Cinatography by Blind Al.

Directed by one of those guys that killed john wicks dog.

God I love Ryan Reynolds because you know it was him.

Wade stop peeing your pants in public.

Weasel "We still have bowie..." Yeah id lie to him too at this point.

"Yeah im fine"

Fucked up

Insecure

Needy and

Emotional. Kübler ross apprently.

"Buck no more speaking lines for you" and he meant that shit.

Al is so humble and sweet. Making tea and giggling. Tries to shoot him and then just hears him collapse on the floor. How many times do you think he collapses on the floor a week? Just to be drimatic?

"Sweetheart can you speak up? Its a little hard to hear you with yhat pity dick in your mouth" Oh so shes his mom. Al is his fucking mom. Hands down. And the best one.

I love how he decided to do an entire bag of cocaine before dying. There was no reason for it and honestly was a waste of cocaine until you realize that these cocaine is wades whiskey. Shots dont work for him really, probably because hes already done it so much, but its the same way how Logan chugs that bottle before wade kidnaps him. Its easier to blame it on a substance then accept those were your actions.

Ness is so cute. The poster behind her has "I love you wade wilson" scratched into it. Its nice to know that his version of heaven is literally just a cozy Saturday morning with his wife.

Colossus just walking in to find wades body parts everywhere and put him in a bag like old dirty clothes lol

"Why cant I fucking die" tone was SO serious.

The fact that theres an x men rule book and its lowkey thicker then a bible. I bet you scott and Logan made 80% of those.

"That asshole was me" oh the tears. Baby boyy.

Wait isnt cable literally scotts son.

Im never going to understand this fucking time line jesus christ

Mutant rehabilitation?? What is he a drug addict? That kid is clearly in pain dipshits.

"X men trainee" is so funny

"Please stop cheating on me"

Daniel the pedophile looking ass

Bro casually signs ryan reynolds on the wolverine cereal box and then destroys his knee caps.

"Those guys hurt you??" It was at that moment, wade went ape shit.

Wade having fun in prison is so him. But come on imagine going to prison just for standing up to an abused child. Not to mention, His face when he immediately realizes how fucked he is and that "oh shit I actually DO have cancer now and it SUCKS"

Is it just me or does Cable reminds you of forge with all his cool fix it abilities. Or is he just futurey.

He didn't say were not friends to make him upset but to draw attention to himself. Him just eye rolling when stabbed in the hand was so funny too because he was like "Ouch. God damn it. Ducking OUCH."

Hes literally pleading with russel to find someone else to peotect him or hes gonna get molested because he cant do anything. His entire power is replacing dead cells WITH new cancer cells. His entire body is dying 24/7 but never fast enough to actually kill him, always regrowing way too quickly. Cancerous is better then dead.

"Get away from me kid" yeah cause he knows hes trouble and he REALLY doesn't wanna watch this kid die.

"Who the hell tries to kill a 14 year old boy"

"Kids give us a chance to be better then we used to be"

Dopinder is so wholesome. I love him so much. No i dont care that he killed a guy. Hes the type of friend you call to take to the movies or the zoo once every year and hes stoked just to be invited.

Peter: I just thought it looked fun :D

Dopinder: FUCK

Peter is that one dad whos kids left the nest and now he needs friends and a hobby so searches for the biggest weirdos he can find.

"Grab the boy- NOT INAPPROPRIATELY >:("

i love his crayon maps/plans

Oh my god weasel im not telling you anything ever again you snitch (same dude, cable is terrifying)

After crying over the love he has for his new team (x force) Wade confirms that he spent 10 years in special forces.

I love how supportive wade is with Peter despite him just being a normal dude only for him to immediately die LMAO

He just cassually lets his impulse win in which he steals a moped.

Oh i just noticed Dominos vitiligo. I always loved vitiligo charaters. Theyre so unique and barley ever given movie roles. Like why not?? Why wouldnt you want someone so beautiful? Im pretty sure she just has make up but it would be cool if not.

Something else is that cable just starts yeeting criminals out onto the street lol

"Theres nothing I cant kill" Let me intorduce you to the man whos on a constant road to dying but can never actually get there.

Im assuming cable wants to kill russel because he unleashes a big bad guy or something.

*cassually snaps neck back into place* Oh god that hurt!

Oh I was right! It was Juggernaut :)

Wade: *gets excited about being PHYSICALLY ripped in half*

"Rub my legs mama 🥺 I got growing pains"

"Oh noo! No no no Dp not again!" We love you Dopinder. Do not ever stop caring. "This shits happened before!?" Yes weasel. Sometimes your friends get ripped in half. Get used to it.

Wade just moves her gun to the right position.

Wade talking about saving russel is so serious that it makes you forget that he has a tiny baby ass rn. I couldn't make a deal with someone woth tiny baby legs... just... no. Not to mention that those baby legs are made of cancer.

"50 years from now you're super fucking dead"

Wade standing outside of the xmen mansion with his phone and a picture of a boom box playing music for Colossus to come outside and help him save russel is something i can see happening to Logan. They have a fight and he storms off to the mansion only for wade to stand outside like that.

"Hi Wade🎀✨️" "Hi Yukio!🥹 you guys make a super cute couple 😊 where was I? 🤨"

"So you wear a helmet so your brother cant read your mind?" "Yeaaahh" average kid conversations.

"Lets fuck some shit up is my legal middle name"

Okay sir edgelord.

Apprently wade has a gluten sensitivity

What is it with wade and metal men??? My man has a type.

"Im just gonna use this brick and maximum effort" Same wade. Same.

Yaayy!! Go yukio! Eveyone loves yukio.

"Thats how we do it in mother russia" What? Shoving an electrical cable up their ass and then put them in a pool? Damn. Ok.

That "I never should have never left you in that prison" with the hug? Man hed be a decent dad I think.

"Dont be ive been trying to make this happen for awhile" okay someone supervise him 24/7. Hes on the active watch list.

Wade: *is dying* Hi Yukio :D

Yukio: Hi wade :)

"R-dog" Oh my god hes too cute.

Them carrying the racist joke all the way til the end made me cringe but that was the point.

His last words being "do you wanna build a snow man?" Is such a deadpool thing.

I was NOT expecting to cry at the end of this stupid ass movie, AGAIN

"Dont fuck colossus" VANESSA KNEW

THE FUCKING COIN

"Is there a knife in my dick?" "There's a knife in your dick."

Oh I just didn't even notice she has heterochromancia! <3 Aahh!!

PFFT DOPINDERS SECOND CONFIRMED KILL

"WERE DEFINITELY NAMINF OUR KID CHER"

"Dont scratch!" *shoots himself 8 times* "Love you! Bye."

Wolverine: ???

Whumptober #14

Borderlands - #14- “I’ll be right behind you”

*

“I know you’re cheating,” Timothy said, tossing down his cards. 

“Why, because I had another ace?” Wilhelm scoffed.

“Yes. That’s your sixth one. There are only four in the fucking deck,” Timothy said. “Let’s play dice again. At least you can’t cheat at that.”

“No, he has weighted dice,” Nisha said from where she was lounging in Jack’s chair. “Try again.”

“Oh, right, I forgot about that. Well, let’s play with the dice I have. They’re purple and blue, so I’ll know if you switch them,” Timothy said.

“No, no, I’m done playing with you,” Wilhelm said. “You’re no fun. I’m going to go hustle someone else.” 

“Hustle that whiny fresh meat. Rick or Ryan or something stupid,” Timothy said. 

“No, that’s not it. The scrawny one with the cybernetic arm? I think his name is Ross,” Nisha said.

“Well, whatever. He seems like the kind of idiot to bet his paycheck against Wilhelm,” Timothy said, going over and sitting on Jack’s desk. He pulled out Jack’s whiskey and poured some for himself and Nisha, pushing the glass to her. “Jeez, what’s taking Jack so long? I’m bored.”

“Could always come back to Lynchwood,” Nisha said.

“No way. You used me as your executioner last time,” Timothy said. “It took me forever to get the blood out of my clothes.” 

Nisha brought her drink to her lips to hide her grin. Jack had been irritated with Timothy’s hesitance towards violence and his general morality, so he’d consistently sent Timothy out on increasingly violent jobs with Nisha and Wilhelm to break the kid in. Enough kill-or-be-killed situations finally hardened the kid into shape. 

The doors to the office opened and all three looked up expectantly. Sure enough, Jack strode in, looking triumphant.

He went over to his desk, slinging his arm around Timothy’s shoulders. “Oh, kiddo, have I got a job for you and Wilhelm!”

“Love the sound of a big paycheck,” Timothy said. “Out with it, Jack.”

Jack grinned. “This specific target has been very tricky to track down, but I’ve finally managed it.”

“Enough with the suspense,” Wilhelm said. “Who is it?”

“Athena,” Jack said.

Timothy’s stomach twisted. “What? Why her?”

“Because she knows too much,” Jack said. “If the Crimson Raiders go after her…well, I can’t have that, can I? So we’ll silence her before they get the chance. Her girlfriend, too. No clue if she told her anything and we’re not taking chances.”

Timothy felt ill. “But…Janey had nothing to do with it. She saved us.”

“Timothy,” Jack said, narrowing his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re wimping out again.” 

“No, I…” Jack had been so happy with him lately. He’d reward Timothy with plenty of money, easier jobs, and even kept him close in the exclusive inner-circle he had. Timothy couldn’t risk losing that now. Jack was too unstable to risk being on his bad side.

But…Athena and Janey had been his friends…Janey had saved his life…

Timothy fell back on the Jack facade he’d perfected, giving Jack an identical grin. “Nah, just gotta kill Springs before she blackmails me with those stupid posters she made.” 

“Well, lucky for you, I know right where they are right now. You can have them killed within the hour,” Jack said, pulling Timothy to his feet. He headed for the door, glancing over his shoulder. “Well? You coming?” 

Timothy thought of the way Athena had trained him and looked after him. He thought of Janey’s bright smile and endless kindness. 

And then, because Jack had taught him better, he wiped those memories from his mind and grabbed his gun.

“I’ll be right behind you,” he assured, following Jack.

ryan ross be like 'i know a spot' and then take you to chelsea hotel

[inspectorclarke]

top 10 ryan ross songs

(Opinions are my own. Not including His Side Live songs that Ross played guitar in, even though his guitar solo in Praying for the Actors slaps)

10. Five Close Calls

This song is kind of slow and it meanders but the lyrics hit me really hard. There’s a lot of arguments about interpretation, but I think that whether you take it literally or figuratively, it’s really well-written and it tells a heartbreaking story. Ryan put so much of himself into this one and I think that even if it’s not your *favorite* it’s absolutely necessary to understand Ross’ writing.

9. Piccadilly Women

This one is... a bop. Influential, and all that jazz, but still primarily a bop. I have no idea what it means (I don’t buy a lot of the common interpretations) but I can’t help but think that maybe Ross was just experimenting with like... word painting. Maybe the words are just words. Maybe the women are just women.

8. Go to the City

I love the way this song slides effortlessly between melancholic yearning and feather-light dreamscapes. Ross has always been an outsider-- even when he was the center of attention, it’s obvious from the memoirs and in interviews that he never felt comfortable where he was and would rather be somewhere else. I think that this song, in itself, is the essence of that. The guitar work is also incredible.

7. Alienation

Yes yes yes I KNOW this is stereotypical and a lot of people will argue that it belongs higher on the list but I think it’s overrated!!! It’s a GOOD song but it’s not GREAT. It introduced everyone to the Followers (and tbh it was my first Followers song) but it’s not their best work. It’s a good introduction song because it’s conventional, but that also stops it from being great.

6. Royal Blood

This is probably one a lot of people wouldn’t put on this list, but I think that it was a really interesting departure from what was expected and it was executed really well. Even though there aren’t that many lyrics, Ross says what he needs to say and lets the instrumentation do the rest-- and the beautiful and haunting way the guitar and drums are at odd with the vocals (3/4 vs 4/4) is GENIUS and as a pianist it terrifies me.

5. Her Shadow

Kind of an obvious pick but it’s a really, really good song. I’m glad this one has been getting a lot of attention since it was used in that movie (even if I hated it) because it deserves it. A lot of people write this off as a simple heartbreak song, but it’s so much more than that-- the lyrics tell an evocative and sinister story of a man who loved the idea of a woman so much he went on to destroy her.

4. 708

Okay AGAIN, obvious, and AGAIN, a lot of people will probably say it should be higher-- but hear me out. A lot of people focus on this song purely because of what they *assume* it has to do with Ross’ personal life... which is like... fine, I guess. And I agree it’s an intriguing track, with it being so stripped back and soulful. I definitely could go on about this song and it’s really really important narratively. But tbh, it’s like 8 minutes long, and it didn’t have to be.

3. Crimson Gone

THIS SONG. A masterpiece. If I could get this song etched into my soul, I would. (Actually, tbh, I may already have.) If I ever had the chance to direct a major Hollywood movie I would choose to base it (aesthetics, plot, etc) off of this song. It says just enough to imply this great sweeping story-- going into detail about the things that make it feel real and honest-- while letting your mind fill in the blanks. A perfect song.

2. The Diplomat

This song only ranks above Crimson Gone because I feel like it’s more understated. Crimson Gone represents the pinnacle of what Ross tried to do for years, whereas The Diplomat is what he had always done successfully, to the greatest degree of itself. I personally like to imagine Ross is actually describing himself as the diplomat, but there are a lot of other theories that I also believe. Regardless of who it is about, I think it paints a really touching and humanized portrait of someone who is fairly unknowable.

1. Miranda’s Dream

This song, man. I’m so glad that both it AND the His Side version exist (and I’m not going to discuss which is better because they both have their own merits) because the second version really gives new meaning to the first. Ross stated in an interview that he really intended it to be about a girl he dreamed about, but this (in my opinion) is a case where artistic intent is better taken with a grain of salt. This is THE Followers, at their best.

Reading isn’t enough anymore I need to be INSIDE this book

[hunky-dory-rat]

WHAT DID I JUST READ

So I come back to wattpad bc its 2am and I'm bored. I just read a smut where they used guitar polish as lube. Lmao infection??? This is what happens when you read fanfic when you're older bc my 13 year old self would have thought that made perfect sense (but like, not actually because fucking guitar polish?? Really? Yall couldn't find any lotion?)

[throamryanisarat]

i will never get over this picture. like never.
